Sailor stripes

I love a Breton stripe (as you know) and I love discovering new labels, too. And, thanks to Urban Outfitters, the purveyor of an eclectic mix of independent fashion brands, my collection of stripes is getting bigger. Plus, I'm now acquainted with Sparkle & Fade.

I like how Sparkle & Fade have given this tunic top a sailor-style square neckline to reinforce its nautical look. And I like even more that it's just a tenner, reduced from £35 in the sale (yep, the sales continue on the high street). Plus, you get an option of three colourways, with navy and raspberry as your other two choices, both of which feature two cute patch pockets on the front.

My only gripe? I wish it were just that little bit longer - that way I could wear it as shift dress. Still, I can't complain. It looks great with jeans and leggings alike. Plus, it looks good with the H&M orb necklace, too.

For more Breton stripes, check out the tees at Gap - as of this week, you can now stop the store online at www.gap.eu. Happy sofa surfing!
